5 Takeaways: Bishop Chatard vs. Guerin Catholic

I took in the Chatard vs. Guerin Catholic game on Friday night as part of a girls/boys doubleheader. There was a lot of young talent on display in the 59-40 Chatard win. My five takeaways from the game are below. <hr /> <strong><span style="font-size: 14pt">Nicole Cunningham is a Scorer</span></strong> Cunningham struggled to get going and still scored 19 points in this one. She has a really nice outside shot and she can also take the ball off of the dribble. Once she gets going downhill, she is tough to stop. She isn't selfish with the ball and is an able passer. Cunningham likes to shoot the corner 3s, but has range from all over the court. Would love to see her more featured in the offense as I think she can easily put up 23+ points a game a night within the flow of the offense. <span style="font-size: 14pt"><strong>Zakia Rasheed is a Sophomore Stud</strong></span> Rasheed really reminds me of Shaila Beeler (Warren Central, IU commit) when she plays. Maybe not as potent, but almost the same play style. I like her ability to create her own space with the ball and the ability that she has to get to the rim. She has a nice looking shot and is quick defensively as well. She is a player who has really solid vision and is a really solid passer. Just a sophomore, I think that they could be something special here. <strong><span style="font-size: 14pt">Guerin Catholic has a Ton of Young Talent</span></strong> Guerin plays a ton of young players in their rotations. Freshman<strong> Katie Koger</strong> and sophomore <strong>Olivia Labus</strong> start but they aren't the only young talent. <strong>Kathryn Loso</strong>, another freshman, plays quality minutes and I really liked the game of sophomore <strong>Claire Sawyer</strong>. This is a really solid group with some potential to make some noice next year and beyond as they develop. <span style="font-size: 14pt"><strong>Anna Pruitt was THE Player who Stood Out</strong></span> Pruitt is a 5'8 guard who comes off of the bench but I thought that she looked really good. She's long and lengthy and ran with a great motor all game long. Really tenacious defender and held Cunningham down for the most part. Pruitt ended up scoring 10 points and grabbed five rebounds but I really thought that she played well. <span style="font-size: 14pt"><strong>Youth Rules These Two Teams</strong></span> Like I said above, Guerin has a lot of young talent, but Chatard isn't old by any means. They have two seniors on the roster and neither of them play minutes in the game besides at the end of the game. Chatard starts two juniors, two sophomores, and a freshman. They are very well suited for the future as well since they have a big contingent of non-seniors on the squad. &nbsp;
